Description of problem:
It should be a relatively simple task to upgrade kernel from packages in updates.  But it is not - in fact it appears to be impossible.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -Fvh rpm -Fvh kernel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4.noarch.rpm cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.17.i686.rpm GFS-kernel-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.19.i686.rpm gnbd-kernel-2.6.11.2-20050420.133124.FC4.52.i686.rpm dlm-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.16.i686.rpm

Actual Results:  error: Failed dependencies:

Expected Results:  Install should have completed successfully.


Additional info:

Most of the above modules appear to have been created on 21st Nov, but the kernel was compiled on 28th November.

So the {cman,GFS,dlm,gnbd}-kernel packages where compiled on system running kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4, then the new kernel was compiled and released. But isn't that a*^#-about-face?

Where are the {cman,GFS,dlm,gnbd}-kernel packages that were compiled for the new kernel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4?

Surely the procedure should be:
1. build kernel
2. install kernel
3. compile {cman,GFS,dlm,gnbd}-kernel
4. release kernel and {cman,GFS,dlm,gnbd}-kernel to updates

Only if you do that will it be possible to freshen kernel etc using rpm packages (without -force).
